With the rapid industrialization, an ever-increasing quantity and kind of new organic compounds pose environmental problems due to their toxicity and physiological effect. However, research on the biodegradation of these compounds under anaerobic condition is very limited inspite of its efficiency and economical advantage. In this research, the pH effect on the ring cleavage of phenol under anaerobic condition was investigated, and the theory of phase separation was applied to the degradation of phenol for investigating the role of acidogenic bacteria. Results, obtained from biochemical methane potential(BMP) assay for 15.5 days of incubation, showed that acidic condition was more desirable for phenol degradation than alkaline condition. By both unacclimated methanogenic granular sludge and two mixed cultures, phenol was completely removed within six weeks of incubation with a gas conversion rate of over 86% of theoretical one. However, phenol was not degraded by unacclimated acidogenic culture, and thus it is considered as a syntrophic substrate. In case of phase separated biochemical methane potential(PSBMP) assay, in which acidogenic and methanogenic culture were seeded separately and consecutively, those that had been subjected to normal acidogens for 3 to 4 weeks showed higher gas production than those seeded with sterile or frozen culture.

New film forming aromatic poly(amide-imide)s containing isoindoloquinazolinedione (IQ) unit in the backbone chain (polymer XIV) have been successfully synthesized by preparing prepolymers of poly(amic acid-carbonamide). followed by subsequent thermal cyclization of the prepolymers. 4,4-Diamino-3-carbamoylbenzanilide (DACB) V has been synthesized by reduction of 3-carbamoyl-4-amino-4-nitrobenzanilide IV. The prepolymers of poly(amic-acid-carbonamide) (polymers VII and VIII) which exhibit viscosities ranging from 1.4 to 1.7 dl/g have been prepared by a condensation polymerization of monomers such as BPDA, ODA, and DACB. Polymer XIV has been obtained by thermal cyclization of the polymers VII and VIII. During the thermal cyclization reaction, imide ring structure was first introduced and then transformed to the structure of IQ unit. The thermal degradation rate of the resultant polymers were influenced by the cleavage of amide bond but the final char yield was comparable to that of poly(BPDA-ODA).

Catechol 2, 3-dioxygenase (C230) catalyses the oxidative ring cleavage of catechol to 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde. This is one of the key reactions in the metabolism of the widespresd pollutant aniline. We have cloned a gene encoding C230 from cells of the aniline degrading bacteria, Pseudomonas acidovorance KCTC2494 strain and expressed in E. coli, A 11.3-kilobase Sau3A partial digested DNA fragment from KCTC2494 was cloned into phagemid vector pBluescript and designated as pLP201. The C230 gene was mapped to a 2.8-kb region, and the derection of transcription was determined. The cloned C230 gene contains its own promoter which can be recognized and employed by E. coli transcriptional apparatus. C230 activities of subclones were identified by enzyme assay and activity staining. The T7 RNA promoter/polymerase system and maxicell analysis showed that a polypeptide with Mw of 35 kDa is the C230 gene product.

This study was conducted to investigate the pyrolysis products of ι-menthol by Curie-Point pyrolysis. The pyrolysis of ι-menthol was performed at 16$0^{\circ}C$, 42$0^{\circ}C$, $650^{\circ}C$, and 92$0^{\circ}C$ by Curie-Point Pyrolyzer and their pyrolysis products were analyzed by GC/MSD. In addition, tobacco leaves added ι-menthol were pyrolyzed at the same condition in case of ι-menthol. The beginning temperature for pyrolysis formation was in the vicinity of 42$0^{\circ}C$ and the major components of the pyrolysis products identified were iso-menthol, 2-menthene, menthomenthene, and menthone. The amount of these components was increased by increasing temperature and the hydrocarbons such as hexadecene and pentadecene formed by ring cleavage were generated at 92$0^{\circ}C$. The yield of ι-menthol in pyrolysis of tobacco leaves was decreased as the temperature of pyrolysis was raised and the pyrolysis products of ι-menthol weren't identified in the pyrolysis of tobacco leaves. Also, to analyze the weight decrease, ι-menthol was analysed by thermal analyzer(TA), and then the weight decrease of ι-menthol was occurred in the vicinity of 18$0^{\circ}C$.

Furoxanthiols PFT and BPFT possessing thiomethyl or thiobenzyl groups in the furoxan ring were designed and synthesized as potential light-sensitive alkyne precursors on a gold surface. The synthesis of thiofuroxans PFT and BPFT was performed from the corresponding halofuroxans 1b and 2c, respectively, by the substitution with potassium thioacetate in ethyl acetate/ethanol or DMF, followed by basic hydrolysis as the key reactions. Electron-beammediated fragmentation of furoxans 1c and 2d in a mass spectrometer afforded the corresponding aryl alkyne fragments, with the evolution of NO in high preference. In the cases of thiofuroxans PFT and BPFT, carbon-sulfur bond cleavage was observed as a representative fragmentation, producing M-SH and M-SAc peaks, which competed with the release of NO. In the fragmentation of mono-aryl furoxan 1c, the release of molecule of NO was predominately observed to produce an M-NO fragment as a base peak by the formation of trimembered thiiranium or azirine intermediate.

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease is essential for the replication of the virus and it is therefore an attractive target for antiviral drugs of HIV-1. Several dipeptide isosteres containing 2-isoxazoline or $\alpha$-hydroxy ketomethylene have been synthesized and their inhibitory effects on the HIV-1 protease examined. The enzymatically active HIV-1 protease was purified to homogeniety from E. coli transformed with a recombinant plasmid (pMAL-pro) containing the entire gene encoding the protease. The purified protease had the substrate specificity with Km value of 9.8$\mu$M when an undecapeptide His-Lys-Ala-Arg-Val-Leu-(p-nitro)Phe-Glu-Ala-Nle-Ser-amide was used as a substrate, and the products from the substrate after specific cleavage by HIV-1 protease were analyzed by HPLC. The synthetic compounds containing dipeptide isosteres showed specific inhibitory effects while a dipeptide isostere containing an isoxazoline ring inhibited the HIV-1 protease competitively with Ki value of 500 $\mu$M. Even if the inhibition effects of HIV-1 protease were not very high, these novel dipeptide isosteres can be used as key structural moieties for developing specific inhibitors of HIV-1 protease.

A series of new ferrocene derivatives containing cyclohexylphosphines have been prepared from the reactions of lithioferrocenes with corresponding chlorodicyclohexylphosphines. 1-diphenylphosphino-1'-dicyclohexylphosphinoferro cene has been prepared from [1]-ferrocenophane via a ring cleavage reaction. Chiral ferrocenylaminophosphines incorporating cyclohexyl-and cyclopentadienylphosphines have also been prepared from the chiral template 2-N,N-dimethylaminoethylferrocene (FA) via stereoselective lithiation followed by phosphination with corresponding $R_2PCl$(R= $C_6H_{11}$, $C_5H_5$). The synthesis of cyclopentadienylphosphine derivative of (R)-FA (6b) led to the formation of a mixture of four diastereomers due to the presence of three chiral sources in the final product in addition to the fluxional behavior of the $η^1$-$C_5H_5$ group attached to the phosphorus. All these new compounds have been characterized by analytical and spectroscopic techniques.

본 연구에서는 전극분무 이온화-이온 포획 질량 분석기를 이용하여 인체 IgG의 N-연결 글라이칸 중 이중촉각 구조를 가지면서 비환원 말단의 갈락토오즈 개수가 0, 1, 2 개인 서로 다른 세 가지 글라이칸의 단일 쪼개짐 (MS/MS) 및 다중 쪼개짐 현상을 관찰하고 이를 구조 분석에 이용하였다. MS/MS 분석에서는 퓨코오즈가 결합된 환원 말단의 N-아세틸 글루코사민의 0,2-고리 쪼개짐으로 파생되는 조각 피크가 가장 높은 세기로 나타나는 것을 관찰할 수 있었고, 전구체 피크와 별개로 연속적인 당 단위체의 쪼개짐이 일어나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 G1 글라이칸의 경우에서만 비환원 말단의 갈락토오즈와 N-아세틸글루코사민이 결합된 채 쪼개지는 현상이 일어나는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 다중 쪼개짐 질량 분석 기법을 이용하여 MS/MS 스펙트럼에서 나타나는 조각 피크들의 구조를 재확인할 수 있었고, 이를 트리 구조로 정리할 수 있었다. 또한 추가적인 2,4-고리 쪼개짐 현상이 환원 말단 하나 바깥쪽의 N-아세틸 글루코사민에서 공통적으로 일어나는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 다중 쪼개짐 질량 분석기법을 이용하여 보다 복잡한 구조의 글라이칸 구조 분석에 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
